A multi-mesh trammel net has been developed and used for sampling freshwater fishes. However, little is known about the catch efficiency of the net. This research investigated the catch efficiency of a multi-mesh trammel net (nominal mesh size; 10.0, 30.0, 50.0, and 70.0 mm) for fish sampling in the Yangtze River of China. Catch composition and factors affecting catch per unit effort based on fish number (CPUEN), weight (CPUEW...
